[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The partial structural schematic diagram of the engine in some embodiments of the present application is shown. The engine provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a cylinder head 1 and an intake member. The cylinder head 1 is provided with a combustion chamber 11 for gas combustion and an intake port connected to the combustion chamber 11.

[0047] The combustion chamber 11 is where the fuel and air are mixed and burned. In the combustion chamber 11, after the fuel and air are mixed, they are ignited by a spark plug or compression self-ignition to produce high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas. These combustion gases push the piston to move, thereby converting chemical energy into mechanical energy to drive the engine to operate. The intake part is a part of the engine intake system. Its main function is to guide air or a mixture of air and fuel from the external environment into the combustion chamber 11 of the engine.

[0048] Continue reading Figure 1 In conjunction with Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic top view of a partial structure of the engine in FIG.

By adjusting the opening, opening time and closing time of the first intake valve Q1, the amount of air entering the combustion chamber 11 can be accurately controlled, thereby affecting the combustion process, power output and fuel efficiency of the engine.

[0050] Curvature continuity means that the curvature of a curve at a certain point is the same as the curvature at other points near that point, or changes smoothly according to a certain rule, without sudden changes or breakpoints.

[0051] A plane perpendicular to the central axis of the first mounting hole is defined as the first reference plane, and the first reference line X1 is located on the first reference plane, and the first reference line X1 intersects the central axis of the first mounting hole at the first central point D1; the extension direction of the tangent of the first reference line X1 at the first central point D1 has an angle of 42 to 44 degrees with the first direction F1, so that the airflow and the wall of the cylinder head 1 form a larger tangential flow velocity, thereby forming an intake vortex, achieving high charging efficiency while obtaining appropriate vortex, balancing the flow coefficient and vortex, and helping to improve the fuel efficiency of the engine.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air intake member further includes a second air intake portion 22 spaced apart from the first air intake portion 21 along the first direction F1. Compared with setting one air intake portion, setting the first air intake portion 21 and the second air intake portion 22 can increase the amount of air entering the engine, and the multiple air intake portions can be designed in different shapes and lengths to optimize the flow speed and pressure of the air and improve the air intake efficiency.

[0053] The second air intake portion 22 has a second end connected to the cylinder head 1, and a second mounting hole is provided on the second end, which is arranged opposite to the air intake port and communicated with each other. A second air flow channel QD2 communicated with the air intake port is provided in the second air intake portion 22;

[0054] The engine also includes a second intake valve Q2, which includes a third part and a fourth part connected to each other, the third part is located in the combustion chamber 11, and the fourth part extends out of the first intake part 21 through the intake port and the mounting hole, the second air flow channel QD2 is connected to the combustion chamber 11 through the second connection part, the maximum lift position of the second intake valve Q2 is located above the second connection part 22, and when the third part of the second intake valve Q2 passes through the second connection part 22, there is a gap between the third part and the inner surface of the second connection part 22. The second air flow channel QD2 is configured to extend along the second reference line X2, the second reference line X2 is configured as a line with continuous curvature, and the inner wall of the second air flow channel QD2 is configured to guide the air flow in the second air flow channel QD2 to flow along the extension path of the second air flow channel QD2. The plane perpendicular to the central axis of the second mounting hole is defined as the second reference plane, and the second reference line X2 is located on the second reference plane, and the second reference line X2 and the central axis of the second mounting hole are compared with the second central point D2; the extension direction of the tangent of the second reference line X2 at the second central point D2 is 68 degrees to 70 degrees with the first direction F1; the first reference plane and the second reference plane are parallel. The extension path of the second airflow channel QD2 is designed so that the airflow forms a larger tangential flow velocity with the wall of the cylinder head 1, thereby forming an intake vortex, achieving high charging efficiency while obtaining an appropriate vortex, balancing the flow coefficient and the vortex, and is conducive to improving the fuel efficiency of the engine. The first reference plane and the second reference plane are arranged in parallel, which means that the central axes of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are also parallel to each other. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole that are parallel to each other enable the first intake valve Q1 and the second intake valve Q2 to be aligned after installation, which is conducive to achieving synchronous movement of the intake valves in the same direction.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, along the extension direction of the first air inlet portion 21, the first air inlet portion 21 has a third end disposed opposite to the first end; along the extension direction of the second air inlet portion 22, the second air inlet portion 22 has a fourth end disposed opposite to the second end;

[0056] The engine further includes a connecting member 3, which is connected between the second end and the fourth end, and has a connecting passage connecting the first airflow passage QD1 and the second airflow passage 1D2. In this way, air can be transmitted from the connecting member 3 to the first air intake portion 21, and then to the combustion chamber 11. One of the two opposite ends of the second air intake portion 22 along the extension direction of the second air intake portion 22 is connected to the connecting member 3, and the other end is connected to the combustion chamber 11. Similarly, air can also be transmitted from the connecting member 3 to the second air intake portion 22, and then to the combustion chamber 11.

[0057] The orthographic projections of the side walls of the first air inlet 21 and the second air inlet 22 facing each other on the first reference plane are the first projection line T1 and the second projection line T2 respectively. The side wall of the connecting member 3 on the first reference plane is the connecting line L1; the end points of the first projection line T1 and the second projection line T2 close to each other are connected by means of the connecting line L1;

[0058] The connecting line L1 is located on the first reference circle Y1 , and the center of the first reference circle Y1 is located on a side of the connecting line L1 close to the first air inlet portion 21 and the second air inlet portion 22 .

[0059] Specifically in this application, please refer to Figure 2 The length of the first air intake portion 21 is smaller than that of the second air intake portion 22. The longer second air intake portion 22 can directly introduce more air into the combustion chamber 11, and the shorter first air intake portion 21 can be used to form more vortices.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, continue to refer to Figure 2 , and combined with reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 Shows Figure 1Another schematic top view of the partial structure of the engine in FIG. The first projection line T1 is located on the second reference circle Y2, and the center of the second reference circle Y2 is located on the side of the first projection line T1 close to the second air intake portion 22; the second reference circle Y2 and the first reference circle Y1 are tangent to the end point where the first projection line T1 and the connecting line L1 are connected. The radius of the first reference circle Y1 is R1, and the radius of the second reference circle Y2 is R2, and R1 and R2 satisfy: R2: R1 = 2.87-2.88; and / or, the second projection line T2 is located on the third reference circle Y3, and the center of the third reference circle Y3 is located on the side of the second projection line T2 close to the first air intake portion 21; the third reference circle Y3 and the first reference circle Y1 are tangent to the end point where the second projection line T2 and the connecting line L1 are connected, the radius of the first reference circle Y1 is R1, and the radius of the third reference circle Y3 is R3, and R1 and R3 satisfy: R3: R1 = 7.03-7.04.

[0061] In the case where "the first projection line T1 is located on the second reference circle Y2, the center of the second reference circle Y2 is located on the side of the first projection line T1 close to the second air intake portion 22; the second reference circle Y2 and the first reference circle Y1 are tangent to the end point where the first projection line T1 and the connecting line L1 are connected. The radius of the first reference circle Y1 is R1, the radius of the second reference circle Y2 is R2, and R1 and R2 satisfy: R2: R1 = 2.87-2.88", in the design of the air intake part, the larger the radius R2 of the second reference circle Y2 is designed to be, the smoother the first projection line T1 is, so that the airflow can enter the combustion chamber 11 faster, improve the intake efficiency and thus improve the flow coefficient, and the larger the radius R2 is designed to be, the less vortex will be caused. Therefore, in order to have both suitable vortex and a higher flow coefficient, R2 cannot be designed to be too large or too small. The applicant found that when the value of R2: R1 is in the range of 2.87-2.88, it can have both suitable vortex and a higher flow coefficient. Among them, the "flow coefficient" is used to describe the flow capacity of fluid through valves, pipes or other fluid control equipment, and is an important parameter for measuring the performance of fluid control equipment.

[0062] In the case where "the second projection line T2 is located on the third reference circle Y3, the center of the third reference circle Y3 is located on the side of the second projection line T2 close to the first air intake portion 21; the third reference circle Y3 and the first reference circle Y1 are tangent at the endpoints where the second projection line T2 and the connecting line L1 are connected, the radius of the first reference circle Y1 is R1, the radius of the third reference circle Y3 is R3, and R1 and R3 satisfy: R3: R1=7.03-7.04", the second air intake portion 22 is longer than the first air intake portion 21, and its main function is to quickly guide the airflow into the combustion chamber 11, so the second projection line T2 is designed to be smoother to reduce the energy loss of the airflow during the flow process. The applicant found that when the value of R3: R1 is in the range of 7.03-7.04, it can have both suitable swirl and a higher flow coefficient.

[0063] In addition, in the design of the first projection line T1 , the second projection line T2 and the connecting line L1 , the interval between the first projection line T1 and the second projection line T2 gradually decreases.

[0064] The above-mentioned “the first projection line T1 is located on the second reference circle Y2, and the center of the second reference circle Y2 is located on the side of the first projection line T1 close to the second air inlet portion 22; the second reference circle Y2 and the first reference circle Y1 are tangent to the end point where the first projection line T1 and the connecting line L1 are connected.

[0072] In the case where "the second reference line X2 includes a third arc segment HD3 and a fourth arc segment HD4 which are smoothly connected to each other, the endpoint of the third arc segment HD3 away from the fourth arc segment HD4 is close to the connecting piece 3, the third arc segment HD3 is located on the sixth reference circle Y6, the fourth arc segment HD4 is located on the seventh reference circle Y7, the center of the sixth reference circle Y6 is located on the side of the second reference line X2 away from the first air intake portion 21, the center of the seventh reference circle Y7 is located on the side of the second reference line X2 close to the first air intake portion 21, the radius of the first reference circle Y1 is R1, the radius of the seventh reference circle Y7 is R7, and R1 and R7 satisfy: R7: R1=5.93-5.94", after the airflow flows rapidly along the third arc segment HD3, the centers of the third reference circle Y3 where the third arc segment HD3 is located and the fourth reference circle Y4 where the fourth arc segment HD4 is located are on different sides of the second reference line X2, so that the flow direction of the airflow tends to be straight and can be introduced into the combustion chamber 11.

[0076] When "the surface roughness of the wall of the second air inlet portion 22 is less than 0.1", the smooth wall design can reduce the energy loss caused by the airflow encountering sharp parts, and the smooth wall reduces the friction between the airflow and the wall, thereby reducing the friction resistance and further improving the flow coefficient.

The curvature of the first reference line X1 is greater than the curvature of the second reference line X2, so that the air can have both suitable vortices and a higher flow coefficient during the process of being transported to the combustion chamber 11.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the first air flow channel QD1 is configured as a tangential air channel; and / or the surface roughness of the wall surface of the first air inlet portion 21 is less than 0.1.
